Look around - I'm doing bookkeeping online and had I known what I know now, I would have chosen differently. It's expensive - even through TAFE it's around $1000 without any concessions and you do need to do hours under an accountant to be qualified. I've been doing books now for 20 years and just wanted to be able to lodge a BAS, but instead I'm writing procedures for hours and hours on how to run an office. Boring!
